Share list of files in DropBox Public folder

For Windows DropBox users. Here is a simple way to share list of links for your Public folder. This script doesn’t show files in sub-directories.

1. Create a makefilelist.bat file with script to list all files in directory.
2. Use Scheduled Tasks to run the .bat file Daily or Weekly, etc as needed; depending on how often you update files in DropBox Public.
3. Share the list file with “Copy Public Link”.
4. Open Public Link in a browser. You know have a list of all public files that is up-to-date.

You can see an example and download the makefilelist.bat file here:

    Does this still work? I feel like I’m missing a step.
    I downloaded the .bat file and pasted in my dropbox public folder.
    I copied the URL and it doesn’t do anything except ask for me to download the file when I put it in my browser.

    You double right-click the .bat file to run it. A cmd window will open, run, and closed automatically. A index.html file will then be created or overwritten. Copy the dropbox public link for the index.html.
